As a professor, my goal is to foster student’s interest and knowledge of geospatial analysis. An important component of my teaching is to develop student’s enthusiasm and engagement on the subject, by incorporating real world case studies relevant to current global problems. My teaching approach inspires a critical interpretation of information, technical and analytical expertise, as well as oral and graphical communication skills, which are important to prepare students for the job market or higher-level studies.
I teach courses for both undergraduate and graduate students. Although the majority of students major in Geography, Earth System Science, Environmental Science, and Global Environmental Studies, there is an increased interest from other majors such as Biology, Economics, and International Development.
